Plausible Analytics
Plausible Analytics — My strongest general recommendation because it combines an exceptionally usable dashboard with privacy-first, cookie-free measurement, conversion/event tracking, open-source code, and a self-hosting option without becoming an analytics project in itself.
ChatGPT
PostHog
PostHog — The best choice for a SaaS or web app because it joins web analytics with event/product analytics and session replay, letting product and engineering teams investigate both aggregate funnels and individual user journeys in one system.
